When I was in Mexico I interviewed a young Mayan man, who promptly debunked my loaded questions. He said it was just as if your grandfather had been unable or forgotten to finish something before he passed. Despite my prying and enthusiasm towards the now commercialized doomsday theory, he wouldn't budge. In so many words, he told me it was a bunch of crap.

Well, I've got news for the Mayans (and the rest of the world): Sooner or later, the end is coming.

The exhibit that caught my eye dealt with the changing landscape of the earth over the past 400 million years. At some point, the earth's crust will rumble and the oceans will rise. We've seen examples of this in recent history, although none have been "significant" enough to permanently reshape the land mass.

I don't mean to be a Debbie Downer, but education is a part of travel. You can't just ignore things that make you uncomfortable. The graphics below speak for themselves:

Rodin MuseumDid you know the Rodin Museum in Paris was originally the Hotel Biron where Rodin once lived? Rodin donated his entire collection of sculptures, and paintings by Van Gogh and Renoir to the French State. The government turned the entire building into a stunning museum that is a marvel and a must to see.
